Rakott teszta (Hungarian layered noodles)

 As many of you might know, or even if you don't, I'm going to tell you anyway.  I love Pasta, in fact, I don't think I've met a pasta I don't like.   I also love Kugel  and when I was searching for a recipe to make for this month's Baking Blogger Challenge of a baked Pasta dish, I found this.  Rakott teszta means layered dough but it is also known as rakott metelt, which means layered noodles. 

And pardon me, but I did make a couple of minor changes to the recipe.  I made my own noodles, and also had to make my own sour cream.  I had a, well let's just call it a brain freeze, I totally forgot to pick up some sour cream, even though I'd been in three, count it, three separate stores that sold sour cream in the space of 36 hours. sigh.
I did however, have some heavy cream in the fridge and lemon left on my tree and I made some substitute sour cream I'll tell you all about those adventures in another post. 
Noodles mixed in and ready to go into the oven. 

After taking out of the oven.  You can see the little bits of almonds on top.

In all of its glory.  Before I sprinkled the confectioners sugar on top.

And here is a piece.  You can see the noodles, and the raisins.  I think this was a hit, because there's only enough left for one breakfast.

.  I didn't have any sliced almonds, so I chopped up some almonds and sprinkled them on top.
I will also say, you do not sprinkle the almonds on top at the beginning, they will sink into the pasta.

Rakott Teszta (Hungarian Layered Noodles)

prep time: 15 minscook time: 1 hourtotal time: 1 hours and 15 mins

This is a fun take on regular old baked Noodle Kugel.

ingredients:

• 1 pound wide egg noodles (cooked until tender in salted water and drained)
• 4 ounces butter (1 stick, melted)
• 2 cups sour cream (see notes at end)
• 2 cups cottage cheese (full fat 4 %)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup raisins (white)
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 -1/2 cup confectioners sugar (to sprinkle on top after baking)

instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.  Spread with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
   
   I used my immersion blender and blended the eggs and cottage cheese together and then whisked in the butter, sugar and sour cream. You can also place all the ingredients into a blender and mix til smooth.  Fold in the raisins.
   Pour over the cooked noodles and mix gently. Pour into the greased 9x13 pan, cover and bake for 30 minutes.  
   Then remove the cover and sprinkle a half cup of sliced almonds on top and continue to bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. 
   Sprinkle with some confectioners sugar and serve hot or even warm.
